Barricades Rise
First of all, it may be a good thing to see barricades rise, though the reality of fighting on the front lines is bloodier and less glorious than some may think. This duo from the Midlands of the United Kingdome (Nuneaton, to be exact), has an EP launch scheduled for July 4 in their home town.
Jonathan Coates and Michael McEntee sing and play guitar in several locations on the island in the near future, including three gigs each in Leicester and Coventry. Perhaps the best venue name hosting Barricades Rise is The Slug and Lettuce in Birmingham. However, The Squirrell in Coventry has to be a close second. Those Englishmen…they have such a wry sense of humor!
This is pop/rock ballad music, for those who are not familiar with Barricades Rise. The pair has billed themselves as Indie Rock since starting out just a few months ago (December 2007, according to their own bio information). Putting the vocals of Coates with the guitar of McEntee for a decade has helped BR fine-tune the rough spots, leaving little to chance. But it is only recently that the duo has started marketing their effort under the new name.
Good listening music that some might consider an absolute favorite.

I’m liking what I hear from this guys. There is a distinct melody in the songs that just keeps me interested and the vocals are a bit refreshing compared to the falsetto sounding frontmen in bands this days. I’m a bit surprised to find out where this guys hail from. This just isn’t the kind of music I expect from an English band. ^_^
yea, i agree Froix. there are really some bands who are so disturbing to the ears. i think it just makes their music a noise. i really do not like those kind of bands. there are some who have a heavy music but still is very relaxing to listen to, just like this band.
